Tufted Puffin (Fratercula cirrhata)

Seen from a whalewatching pelagic trip. This was a horrendous trip, the sea was quite rough, very windy. We dipped Gray Whale, eventually after about 2 hours, and absolutely drenched, we saw a breaching Humpback Whale, and then a group of four Tufted Puffins was the only other highlight.
